The Story: Safeguarding a New York Property with Tailored Flood Protection
In the state of New York, flood protection is a critical concern for properties situated in areas prone to rising waters and complex site conditions. One such building faced heightened flood risk due to narrow access points, surrounding infrastructure, and limited installation space. Protecting this vulnerable site became a top priority.
The building’s management turned to AquaFence for a perimeter flood protection system that could deliver strong defense while adapting to the site’s specific structural challenges. AquaFence engineered a drop-in-place flood barrier system, featuring custom panels designed to fit within tight walkways and include cutouts for hydrants and utility poles.
The Challenge: Protecting Vulnerable Perimeter Areas with Site Constraints
Key challenges included:
Custom-fit barriers required for narrow access areas and infrastructure elements such as hydrants and poles.
Ensuring continuous perimeter protection with no gaps or weak points.
Rapid, efficient deployment to protect the property without disrupting normal operations.
The Solution: Tailored, Drop-in Place Flood Barriers
AquaFence delivered a fully customized flood protection solution:
V1800 (6’) and V2100 (7’) FloodWall systems were deployed to provide comprehensive protection for approximately 650 linear feet of property perimeter.
Panels were custom-engineered to fit narrow sidewalks and integrate seamlessly around hydrants and utility poles.
The system allowed for fast installation, with a four-person team completing setup in about 7 hours, and an eight-person team reducing that to 3.5 hours.
The Results: Reliable Flood Defense Without Disruption
Complete perimeter protection for the building’s vulnerable areas, preventing potential flood damage.
Efficient deployment minimized downtime and operational disruption.
Custom-designed panels ensured a perfect fit within the site’s infrastructure.
Enhanced flood resilience provided peace of mind to the property owners and the local community during severe weather events.
AquaFence’s tailored flood protection system gave this New York building robust, flexible, and site-specific flood defense, ensuring long-term resilience against future flood risks.
